'Just as I thought!'
Scanning the silent darkness around him, Chu Mu's heart sank.
During the day, even a surprise attack would ultimately become a manhunt, given their superior numbers and the open lines of sight.
The results from earlier in the day had clearly proven this.
But here in this dense forest, it was so dark you couldn't see your hand in front of your face!
For those who spent their lives in these mountains, the home-field advantage was absolute.
Just like now. Hit-and-run. With this kind of terrain advantage, they wouldn't even know where the arrows were coming from. Even if they caught a glimpse of the archer, he would vanish back into the darkness, leaving no trace.
Chu Mu gripped the hilt of his sword, his eyes scanning the darkness around him with a vigilance he had never felt before.
The renewed attack made one thing clear: they were on the right trail. Otherwise, there would be no reason for these obvious delaying tactics.
